ABC Home & Commercial Services is family-owned and operated, staffed with entomologists, urban pest managers, and trained professional technicians. ABC serves residential and commercial customers and has become the largest, independently owned and operated pest control company in the state of Texas.

"ABC states they are a Christian family owned business that cares about its customers but unfortunately I have experienced the opposite especially during a spouses life and death situation. We hired ABC to eradicate pest problems at 2 homes last summer. They completed the treatment at both homes and I signed up for the monthly warranty for $50.00 a month per home where they would come out every few months to recheck for pests. We were able to schedule 1 recheck but unfortunately my husband became ill, collapsing, becoming unconscious and turning blue 2 to 3 times a week requiring me call to call 911 and my husband being in the hospital coding blue twice. When ABC contacted me to schedule the next recheck, I explained that either my husband was too ill or hospitalized and we could not schedule at that time. My husband ended up being in the hospital all of January and passed away in February. The company again called to schedule and I explained that my husband had passed away and I could not function, much less think about scheduling a recheck. They said they sympathized with my situation but were cancelling my warranty on both homes because they had not been able to come back out since the first recheck. ABC didn't care that my husband had been in and out of the hospital 2-3 times a week and had passed away. I reached out to the customer service manager to only get a reply that they sympathized with my situation but it is stated in their warranty that they can cancel if they are not able to do their rechecks. They did not care that my husband of 37 years and I had been through h*** since last summer and he had just passed away. Not to mention that I am the one that should have been upset because of their lack of empathy especially claiming to be a Christian family owned business and continuing to pay $50.00 a month per home when I couldn't have them do the recheck. I never complained and fully understood my obligation to pay the warranty even though I couldn't have them come back out yet. To make matters worse, I explained on-line when I set the appointment that I couldn't see it online and needed a copy in person when they arrived. I didn't see or sign the contract, which was not printed out but on-line until the services were complete and the heat treatment lifted the new vinyl floor at one home and I still didn't complain. This company didn't care about their customer and refused to make an exception in this painful extenuating circumstance. I am very upset with their lack of empathy and understanding.""

We take great pride in assuring our customers are 100% satisfied with the services we provide.

"After giving many opportunities to make it right, unfortunately my experience was not a good one. Chris, Jeremy and David were all very nice, as were the workers! However, the vinyl siding installation looks like a DIY job gone bad. The cuts and seams look horrible, even after tearing it all out and putting it back on. Some of the cuts left holes, that have since resulted in damage to soffit and behind the siding that I have to deal with now. There are visible screws on the back side of the house that I was told was temporary, until they could get more siding to make the repairs. Because of the length of time it took, 2021-2024 (they had a lot of trouble matching the color for additional siding to make the repairs - even took multiple trips to get siding samples) I think they had “moved on” and I was tired of asking them to come back. I have learned my lesson to get references, and not to trust someone to do a good job just because they are nice. I also made the huge mistake of giving final payment before all the repairs were made."

Earthquake Retrofitting questions, answered by experts

Projects will vary based on size and scope, but an average earthquake retrofit takes between two weeks and two months. This includes the initial evaluation and plan, bidding and contract paperwork, permitting and approval process, actual work, and final inspection. Your contractor should give you a more accurate time estimate for your specific project, and they may be able to estimate how long the permitting process will take for your area.

Depending on where you live, your insurance company may require you to have a seismic shut-off valve. It depends on local regulations along with the specific provider. If it’s not a requirement, many providers will offer a discount if you install an earthquake valve, which can save you 5% or more. Contact your provider to learn about potential savings for your plan.

Grounding is a great first step to prevent electrical shock, but you can take it further with GFCI outlets and AFCIs (arc fault circuit interrupters). In particular, AFCIs help protect against the type of electrical arcs that cause fires, like if a mouse chews on a wire or your laptop starts overheating at the wall. These are required in some areas of your home.

Earthquake retrofitting can increase your home value, making it a great return on investment. This feature is especially valuable in areas prone to earthquakes. Besides the increased safety value (not only for your family but for the next family who moves in), earthquake retrofitting also helps lower homeowners insurance rates. In addition, having your home earthquake retrofitted can make it easier to get a home loan since they are considered lower risk.

Even if you invested in the cost of a gas shut-off valve for your oven and other appliances, it’s a good idea to add a seismic shut-off valve as an extra safety measure. 

Gas shut-off valves for appliances are manual, meaning someone has to cut off the flow of gas. This leaves room for error, as you might not be home or might be too distracted to think about gas lines during an earthquake. An earthquake valve is automatic and will protect your home from gas-related disasters in the event of an earthquake.
